Okay-so Momma took me to register for kindergarten yesterday morning at Lebanon Middle School. Two things about this are very confusing to me…#1-Why did we go to the Middle School to sign-up for kindergarten, and #2-Why is Momma registering me AGAIN in Crawfordsville on Monday?!?! Do I have to go to TWO kindergartens?!?! Momma assures me that by August 12th, everything will be decided. Until then, keep your fingers crossed that Momma lands a gig in Lebanon BEFORE August 12th. I hear it would make our lives so much easier! I’m not sure what she means, my life is smooth sailin!!
Narrated by Morgan, typed by Daddy (as fast as he could type to keep up with Morgan telling the story):
On Saturday morning, we waked up and went to the kitchen and had cereal (I had Cheerios with milk) and then we had some pancakes and syrup with my brother, Parker. And then, Papa came home and we all got ready to go. Then, we had a long drive up so we had to make another breakfast stop. We went in to Burger King to get something to eat. Cini-minis! And then, we had a long drive up.
And then, when we first got there, we went to the museum. We had a little bit of rain on the way up there. The museum was hundreds and hundreds of fun. First, when we walked in, we had to get a sticker and a stamp. Then we walked in to the dinosaur exhibit. And then we had to walk more, and we didn’t go in to the rainforest thing yet. Then, we got my face painted. It was a butterfly. Then, we planted vegtigibiles. And then there was this big barn where you could play. There was this water exhibit. Then we walked out of the farm exhibit and we went to the apple orchard. The apple orchard had apples from trees (not real apples) and the conveyor belt shooted them up to the tree and you picked them. Then we went to this place that had light on the ground and it had piano noises and I got everything right on clean and rotten tooth. Parker keeped giving the teeth a shot and brushed his teeth and ear.
While Parker was playing on the ship, I went up there too. There was this little house that there was food in (not real food) and there were kids in there and the big bubble thing you had to pull it fast but the kids did it slow but I did it fast and I was inside a real bubble. Isn’t that great? I went in a tube and there was a game and you had to put the little pieces on it. My brother named Parker Lawson, he weared a pirate hat and I didn’t like the picture of him but he looked very cute.
After the Children’s Museum we went to the city to look at the boats and I got ice cream! Parker got vanilla and Gigi got birthday cake and I got rainbow sherbet. Parker ate some of the birthday cake.
Then we got to look for some boats and I found an Indian boat and a tugboat named Theodore and Bug Tug. A boat said “I can read” and Junie B. was written in it…that’s my favorite! After that there was the strangest boat named Dream Boat and it was so strange that it had a fish with legs.
After the boats, we headed to the car to go for our hotel. We swam, and we swam, and we swam, and we swam, and then we went to our room. We had to get new keys because our room wasn’t finished yet. Our window had a view of the parking lot. We had subway for dinner. Mine was a foot long tuna but I didn’t eat it all. Horton Hears a Who was fun. I had a couch bed.
The next day we waked up and I got a new tattoo and we went to Cracker Barrel and I got a new Webkinz! It is a husky dog and now I have 2 Webkinz, a pony and a husky dog. In Webkinz world there is a door that goes to their rooms. Parker got a lellow helicopter and there is candy in it but we didn’t tell him.
We swam and swam again but Parker did not let go of the squid. But, after we swam, we had to go back to Gigi’s house. Half way there, we got a good girl and a good boy present. When we got back to Gigi and Poppa’s house, I played for a while with Mommy and Daddy.
And, that’s the story of Morgan and Parker’s big adventure. Adios!
Okay, so the title will come in to play a little later, but first I need to tell you about our super fun day! To start things off, Daddy actually stayed home from work to hang out with us, which is great because between his golfing, and working late, and my long days at the pool with Mema, Momma, and Parks, we’ve been like two ships passing in the night…whatever that means. Anyway, to celebrate our glorious Family Day, did we stay home and relax you ask? NO! We hit the Children’s Museum! Now, I’m fully aware that Momma hates going to the museum, but I think today she had a lot of fun with us. We started off by visiting the Curious George exhibit (Poppa-make sure you check out the pictures of Parks golfing) where I made a pinwheel at the “wind farm.” From what I hear, if you travel up to Benton County where my Aunt Diana lives, you can actually see the real thing! Hold on to your unders!! Parks enjoyed the assembly line and mainly running around checking out everything.
From Curious George, we headed over to the Cartoon Network animation exhibit. It was pretty cool. Parks and Daddy made a stop action movie clip together, and I drew a picture of Bloo from some cartoon Momma can’t remember the name of right now. Everyone seemed to be getting a little hungry so we headed down to the food court for some pizza, oranges, mac n’ cheese, and breaksticks…lunch of champions! After everyone ate a “dino-sized” lunch, we thought it fitting to hit the Dinosaur exhibit. It was much less scary for me this time. We visited all the exhibits, dug for bones, threw around some dino eggs, and then headed to the….
TRAINS! CHOO-CHOO, Baby! Parker LOVED this place! He couldn’t stop saying, “Choo-Choo!” and pointing at every one he saw! Make sure to check out the movie on his site! Man, that kid is nuts about trains! After a quick stop at the, “What if…” exhibit, we decided to take in a play called, “Curious George and the Dinosaur Discovery.” It was really entertaining, but I have to admit, It was nice to sit and just relax for a minute. I think Parks agreed. His eyes were pretty heavy during the show.
Next on the agenda was the glass sculpture exhibit. While I “virtually” blew my own glass sculpture, Parker found those choo-choos again! On to the Comic Book Heroes display for Daddy…we didn’t stay long but we did get to see a real Batmobile used in the movie. It was pretty cool…Daddy wanted to drive it!
PLAYSCAPE! We played in the water, the sand, built with blocks, climbed, slid,..you name, we did it. We stayed there for a long time before making our last stop at the ScienceWorks room. Parks and I floated boated in the water and watched the pool ball machine. By this time, it was 4:00 (we dominated the museum for 6 HOURS) and it was time to pack it in. Momma and Daddy said that we were so good, that we’d stop on the way home and get a scoop of ice cream (ahhh, the title comes into play!). We had some dinner first, then headed to Cold Stone Creamery for our after dinner treat.
What a great day! And like I said, Momma may not admit it, but I saw her smiling a lot today! She loves us! Thanks, Daddy for convincing her to come along on our fun day!

PARKER BOY NOTE: Today we realized that Parker has really stinky feet. Like “man” stinky feet. What’s up with that?!?
